LoUr WILLIE, KY, September TO-
The fall meeting OF the Louisville
Jockey Club opened today under the
INST favorable circumstances. The
weather, though pleasant, YVES threat
ening, but not enough co 10 prevent
large attendance. The full fields rem.
dered tie retulis exceptionally uncer.
tain, and the betting was lively. The
racing was exciting, and with the
large number Ct horses at the track the
prospect Is that II will surpsss In inter.
est the sport during the spring meet
ing. The time, considering the con.
dilion Of the track, which wss slow,
was good. Gen. James Robinson, Of
Lexington; Capt. James franklin, OF
Gsllstip, Tenn, and Col. M. Lewis
Clark occupied the judges stand.
The event.of the osy, the Bluegrass
stakes, q three.fourths mile dash, was
won by son Of Ten Brock, Har.
pePs Patton, who took II handily
from big field. The prettiest race
OF the day was the last, In which Eos.
tersl and Sour Mash barely escaped Q
dead heat, the former winning by q
nose. The etart.Dg WIS excellent.
Altogether, the meeting promises to
be one OF the moot successful ever
